Creating an XPS Document Sample

This sample shows how to write XML Paper Specification (XPS) packages both with and without embedded print tickets. In executing the XpsCreate sample, provided text and image resources are output to two new XPS files, XpsDocument.xps and XpsDocument-withPrintTicket.xps. Double-clicking on either of the .container files opens the document in the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0 document viewer. The output .xps files are in fact ZIP files that hold the document's content, resource, relationship, and print ticket elements. By changing the file extension from .container to .zip, you can open the files to see the individual parts. The XpsDocument.xps and XpsDocument-WithPrintTicket.xps files are recreated each time the sample is executed.

This sample demonstrates a specific feature of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and, consequently, does not follow application development best practices. For comprehensive coverage of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft .NET Framework application development best practices, refer to the following as appropriate:
